Erdinger Urweisse

◎ Aussehen

Deep amber beneath a substantial cream-coloured head that demonstrates lasting retention. The full haze typical of the Hefeweizen style is present throughout, with a slight turbidity from suspended yeast matter. Carbonation is noticeably brisk, lending a lively visual presence in the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced toffee and caramel notes, followed by distinctive clove spice characteristic of the yeast strain. A light roasted edge adds subtle complexity beneath the dominant phenolic and ester profile. The overall impression is warming and slightly sweet without cloying intensity.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with strong yeast-derived clove and ripe banana notes over a sweet, malty foundation. Caramel character carries through the mid-palate, supported by soft wheat grain. The finish is clean and moderately dry, with residual spice and fruit lingering without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is crisp and of moderate length, with clove spice and subtle roasted grain fading gradually. A light dryness emerges, balancing the sweetness encountered on entry.

Etwas wärmer als ein Lagerbier — 8–12°C lässt die Bananen- und Nelkenaromen der Hefe voll zur Geltung kommen.

An der Basis schmal und oben ausladend — konzipiert für den reichlichen Schaum eines Weizenbiers, während der trüb-goldene Körper zur Geltung kommt.
